Podcasts about jonah chapter

Our God uses people to reach people. From the very beginning, He has chosen a group to go out and bless the world. But the Bible is full of humans failing to live up to this divine calling. One of the most iconic and ironic examples is the prophet Jonah. Join us this Sunday to see how even polytheistic, pagan sailors reflected God's heart more than Jonah did.

Having compassion can be difficult when you feel like someone has done you or others wrong and they don't get what you think they "deserve". In the message from Pastor Bryan, Jonah has no compassion for God's people. One message that holds so much truth, is that God is a loving and compassion God.

Do you ever feel like you've messed up too many times? Has the fear set in that you've used up too much of God's grace, and too many of His "second chances"?If that's you, we want you to know that there is no distance that God won't cross to win you back, and welcome you home!In this message, Pastor Aaron breaks down Jonah Chapter 3 to look at how when we repent, and turn to God, He is faithful to relent from His anger, and give us the grace to try again. Not grace that just "barely" accepts us, but a grace that boldly loves us, beyond our wildest imaginations!

How many times do you wish you had been given a second chance, or have an opportunity for a due over. Well, in the message we hear from Pastor Bryan, we see a God of second chances. God doesn't ever tell us that's it. When we confess we have done wrong, he is always willing to give a second chance.

Series: JonahMarch 30, 2025 - Dan Barton

How many times do you wish you had been given a second chance, or have an opportunity for a due over. Well, in the message we hear from Pastor Bryan, we see a God of second chances. God doesn't ever tell us that's it. When we confess we have done wrong, he is always willing to give a second chance.

In this study we will finish this great book of Jonah. In the previous chapter, Jonah finally obeyed Yahweh and delivered the proclamation to Nineveh regarding their impending destruction by Yahweh. Nineveh repented just as Jonah feared they would, and Yahweh forgave them and spared Nineveh also just as Jonah feared He would.It must be pointed out that Yahweh had never asked Nineveh to repent. He simply sent word to them through His Prophet Jonah that He had had enough and was to destroy them in forty days. The show of great faith by the heathen of Nineveh no doubt touched the Lord's heart; and for the sincere change of the heart of one's who were before such great heathen, Yahweh turned away His wrath from them. Yahweh was no doubt pleasantly impressed by the new-found faith that these once heathen people had in Yahweh's willingness and ability to forgive and show mercy.Then Yahweh reminds Jonah about his love for the animals. Jonah loved a plant, so he should respect Yahweh's love for the animals. Those animals would suffer too if Yahweh permitted some great trouble to destroy the city.So, now Jonah must decide whether Yahweh was right to forgive Nineveh's people and to save their city.But many will have an opportunity in the thousand year period in to be taught. Yahweh will judge no one to eternal perdition in their ignorance, all who perish will perish by their own doing, having heard the truth and rejecting it.Yahweh loves all His children the same. He doesn't like what many of them are doing, but he still loves them all the same.  For Yahweh loves all His children, both good and evil, and he wishes that all would come to repentance and everlasting life:2 Pet 3:9 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.We sometimes forget that Yahweh has emotions, but we were created in His image and we have emotions. We know through the Bible that Yahweh does have emotions, but we seem to only pay attention to Yahweh's emotions of wrath and anger. Yahshua Messiah is Yahweh manifest in the flesh, and in the shortest verse of the entire Bible we see:John 11:35 35 Yahshua wept.But the saddest thing of all is that Yahweh will have to eternally destroy many of His beloved children whom He created to love Him and give Him good pleasure by their company in the eternity:Rev 4:11 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.How about you friend? Have you given Yahweh any pleasure lately? All He really wants is your love. He tells us how to be approved by Him, He wants us to study His Word, to learn of Him, so that we will not be sidetracked into perdition by the wicked one Satan. In the Bible, Yahweh has written us a letter of love, caution, instruction, and direction, but how many of us refuse to even read it? We are either too lazy, too busy, or we just don't care. 2 Tim 2:15-16 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto Yahweh, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.Matt 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.Have any questions?

Have you ever felt so far from God that you feel he doesn't hear your prayer? As we continue our series in Jonah, we learn no matter where we are in life God hears our prayers. Pastor Bryan shares Jonah's prayer as he cries out in repentance to God. Even when Jonah thinks he has hit rock bottom and there is no way out, God hears him and sees him.

Raise your hand if you have heard the story of Jonah and the Whale? I thought I knew the whole story of Jonah but the story is so much deeper than just a man in the belly of a fish. Take a listen to the message from Pastor Bryan.

The author of the book is Jonah. His name (הָונֹי Yonah) means “dove.” Yahshua Messiah mentions Jonah, and the account of this book, as true history (Mat 12:39-41)Jonah had strong national pride and hated the Assyrians, and his attitude reflected that of Israel. Though Yahweh hated the evil of the Assyrians, He loved them and desired their salvation. For this reason, Yahweh called Jonah to preach to them (Jon 1:1-2), but His prophet declined and ran away (Jon 1:3). Yahweh began a series of judgments upon His disobedient prophet which included a storm (Jon 1:4), the pressure of Gentile sailors (Jon 1:5-16), and a great fish that swallowed him (Jon 1:17). From the belly of the great fish Jonah was humbled and cried out to the Lord, who saved him (Jon 2:1-10). The humbled prophet then obeyed the Lord and preached to the Ninevites (Jon 3:1-4), and the people of the city believed in Yahweh and the Lord changed His mind about the judgment He was going to bring on them (Jon 3:5-10). Yahweh's mercy and grace greatly upset Jonah to the point where he wanted to die (Jon 4:1-3), but the grace Yahweh showed to Nineveh was shown to Jonah, which grace reflects the Lord's sovereignty (Jon 4:4-11). The overall purpose of the book of Jonah is to reveal that Yahweh's grace, compassion, and mercy extends to evil and hostile nations just as it does to His peopleIn this study we will finish Chapter 3In our last study we read about Jonah getting a second chance from Yahweh to go Nineveh and preach to them. This time Jonah didn't try to run and hide but listen to the words of Yahweh! We read in verse 5 that the people of Nineveh “believed” in the divine message from Yahweh through Jonah. Even though we may not see the word “repent” we are lead to believe that the people of Nineveh did “repent”7    The King made it a law that all should participate in the offering to The One True Yahweh. So serious did the Ninevites take this vow that even their animals were ordered to participate in it. Yahweh surely touched the hearts of the people of Nineveh in a very strong way. For just a few days prior, Nineveh was worshiping fish gods and participating in all forms of wickedness and idolatry9              turn and repent = Change His mind, turn away from destroying them. They are holding faith that if the repent and change their evil ways, that Yahweh will spare them. This no doubt impressed Yahweh, for Nineveh as you remember, was a Heathen Pagan evil city. I'm sure that Yahweh was impressed at the heartfelt change and sacrifice that the Ninevites had made10           their works = Not their words only, but Yahweh recognized the sincere change that they had made. Nineveh had been saved by the grace and mercy of the Lord because they effected a real change. Don't read over the fact that Yahweh expects something from you                Elohim saw their works…and Elohim repented = Yahweh honored Nineveh's repentance, even though their past sin was reason enough for an outpouring of judgment. The state would never forgive a cold-blooded murderer who vowed to never do it again, but Yahweh mercifully repented from judgment against the people of NinevehWe do not obligate Yahweh to forgive us when we repent. Instead, repentance appeals to Yahweh's mercy, not His justice Yahweh repented from the evil that He had said He would do unto them, and He did it not = Did Yahweh's repenting make Jonah a false prophet, when he prophesied Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown? Not at all, for two good reasonsJoin me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com 

JONAH was the most ancient of all the prophets whose writings have come down to us. He is supposed to have prophesied in the latter end of Jehu's or the beginning of Jehoahaz's reignThe author of the book is Jonah. His name (הָונֹי Yonah) means “dove.” Yahshua Messiah mentions Jonah, and the account of this book, as true history (Mat 12:39-41).The book of Jonah was written to Israel to show that Yahweh's grace and mercy extends to Gentiles, even those whom Israel regards as their evil enemies.In this study we will begin in Chapter 3. In the last chapter we saw Jonah being spit or vomited up onto dry land by the great fish. In this Chapter 3 we are going to see that the people of Nineveh instantly accept Jonah. This would certainly seem odd for a heathen Pagan city, if we did not understand that the Ninevites worshiped a fish-headed god name 'Dagon'. Side note if you look and the headdress of the Catholic Pope and bishops you will notice the Dagon fish like hat that they wear! So to the Ninevites this man Jonah, who claimed to speak for Yahweh, and whom was delivered unto them by an immense fish, must be a Divine sign. The Ninevites took to Jonah and his message like a fish takes to water. But seriously, if they worshiped a fish god, and this man was delivered (sent) to them by a fish, they would almost worship him, and would most certainly heed any warning he delivered. Perhaps this was Almighty Yahweh's plan all along.2    great city = Not good, but this word 'great' in the Hebrew is 'gadowl'; Hebrew word #1419, and it means: massive, proud, disrespectful, and of old.3   great city of three days' journey = Not three days from where Jonah was, but this was a form of measure in those days. What this is saying is that the city was so large that it was three days walk to go around its outer walls. Three day's journey was approximately sixty miles around. Quite a large city for those days and in [4:11] we see that Nineveh had six score thousand inhabitants (120,000).4   began to enter into the city a day's journey = Jonah walked 20 miles into the heart of the city. cried = Proclaimed (same word used for 'preach' in verse 2).  forty = In Biblical numeric's, the number forty represents probation, and Nineveh had just about exhausted Yahweh's patience, their probation from destruction was ending in forty days. overthrown = Destroyed. This is Hebrew word #2015: 'haphak', and it is the identical word used of Yahweh's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah [Gen 19:24-25]. The Ninevites may have been aware of the 'legend' of Yahweh's judgment and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah5    believed = Believed the proclamation of their impending doom, and sought to atone to Yahweh wherein they might be spared.  proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth = A sign of mourning and repentance from the greatest. . . = Everyone in Nineveh heeded Yahweh's words through Jonah, and they all participated in the offering of repentance to the Lord.Jonah's message had an extraordinary effect upon the people in Nineveh. They understood that Yahweh had sent Jonah to declare this message on Yahweh's behalf. So they gave careful attention to what Jonah was saying. They believed that Yahweh had made his judgment against them. They had just 40 days until the time when they, and their great city, would suffer a terrible punishment. In that punishment, they would lose their lives and everything that they possessed.Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

JONAH was the most ancient of all the prophets whose writings have come down to us. He is supposed to have prophesied in the latter end of Jehu's or the beginning of Jehoahaz's reignThe author of the book is Jonah. His name (הָונֹי Yonah) means “dove.” Yahshua Messiah mentions Jonah, and the account of this book, as true history (Mat 12:39-41).In this study we will complete Chapter 2. We finished up in our last study here in Chapter 2 verse 2. We see that the sailors took Jonah and threw him overboard into the ragging sea. Once his body hit the waters we read that the sea ceased from her raging. However Yahweh isn't done with Jonah yet. Yahweh in verse 17 now ‘prepares' or in the Hebrew ‘appoints' a great fish to swallow Jonah up. And we see that Jonah is 3 day and 3 nights in the belly of this great fish. Now here in Chapter 2, we see Jonah praying to Yahweh, seeking forgiveness for the affliction that he caused by disobeying Yahweh.3   hadst cast = Did cast me. in the midst = In the heart. floods = Tides of water. billows and thy waves passed over me = I am submerged. 5   compassed me about = Surrounded me. even to the soul = Even for my life. Soul is the Hebrew word 'Nephesh' and means life. It is like our present day saying: "The ship went down with 300 souls on board." depth = An abyss. closed me round about = surrounded me. weeds = Seaweed.6   bottoms = Roots. earth with her bars = 'Shoel,' a land without return, (under) world. Jonah now dead and separated from his body, was spiritually in a place of holding. was = Substitute the word 'were.' You will notice that Jonah has written this all in the past tense, all the verbs (action words) are in the past tense, not the present ie: "didist, fainted, cried. . ." Jonah remembered his rapid thoughts as he was dying and wrote them down later after being resurrected. about me = Around me.  for ever = Eternally, or so Jonah thought at the time. yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption = Brought me back to life. What this is saying is that Jonahs life would be restored to his body, in other words, Jonahs body would not (at this time) die and decomposes.8    observe = regard, or heed. lying = empty. forsake their own mercy = do not heed their chastisement. forsake = not to heed. Hebrew. 'azab. Compare Gen. 2:24. mercy. = Hebrew. hesed. A homonym, with two meanings: (1) lovingkindness, as in Gen. 24:12. 2Sam. 7:15. 1Chron. 19:2. 2Chron. 6:14. Psa. 103:4, 8, 11, 17, &c.; (2) correction, or chastisement (Lev. 20:17, a wicked thing bringing down punishment). Job 37:13 (mercy = chastisement, synonymous with "correction" in preceding clause (margin rod)). Prov. 25:10 (put to shame: i.e. by correction)10    Once again in the Hebrew manuscripts we see the Hebrew word ‘eth', signifying that Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah hand to playing an important role into the salvation of Jonah.Jonah is resurrected alive onto the dry land, and in the next chapter we see that he goes about doing as Yahweh had told him to, thus through Jonah's warning, Nineveh repented of its sins. In this we have another 'type' of a Messiah in Jonah. Just as Jonah died and was in the innards of the fish, being resurrected three days later.Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

JONAH- Chapter 1 by Prodigal Church

In this episode, Sally and Curtis dive into Jonah Chapter 4, exploring the prophet's reaction to God's mercy towards Nineveh. Despite witnessing the city's repentance and God's compassion, Jonah becomes angry, revealing his struggle with justice, fairness, and personal comfort. Through an in-depth discussion, they examine the contrast between Jonah's limited perspective and God's boundless grace. The episode also unpacks the significance of the leafy plant that God provides and then removes, using it as a lesson on misplaced priorities and spiritual blindness. Ultimately, this episode highlights the patience of God—not only towards Nineveh but also towards Jonah—as He seeks to guide His people towards repentance and understanding.

JONAH was the most ancient of all the prophets whose writings have come down to us. He is supposed to have prophesied in the latter end of Jehu's or the beginning of Jehoahaz's reignThe author of the book is Jonah. His name (הָונֹי Yonah) means “dove.” Yahshua Messiah mentions Jonah, and the account of this book, as true history (Mat 12:39-41).In this Part 4 of Chapter 1 we will finish the Chapter and go into Chapter 2. In our last study we read where the captain and the sailors of the ship started to question Jonah beginning with verse 8. Jonah then in verse 9 explains to them who he is and where he came from. In verse 10 we read that these men were afraid of Jonah's Yahweh and His anger caused this great storm to develop. Now in verse 12 Jonah begs that they should throw him overboard in order to please Yahweh and calm the seas. However in verse 13 we see the men of the ship beginning to row harder, trying to reach the shoreline. Now realizing that Jonah's Yahweh is greater than all of their gods, they now cry out to Yahweh seeking His forgiveness for their evil thoughts.15  took up Jonah = Took up with care and did throw him into the sea. Here ‘took up' in the Hebrew manuscripts reads, “naw-saw' eth”. ETH, being the Alph and Tav or the first and last letters of the Hebrew Alphabet.the sea ceased from her raging = They had obeyed Yahweh and fulfilled His will by casting Jonah into the sea, therefore Yahweh ceased the storm upon the sailors and they saved their lives. 16  feared the LORD exceedingly = Reverence the Lord totally. Once again within this verse we see the Hebrew word ‘eth' in the manuscripts.Feared ‘eth' = “yaw-ray eth'” offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows = The conversion of the sailors to the One True Yahweh was now complete. Yahweh truly does work in mysterious ways, 17   had prepared = This is a special word in the Hebrew, it means to appoint or assign, it never means to create. This was a special fish sent by Yahweh on a one-time basis especially for this event. great fish = It is commonly assumed that this was a whale, but in the manuscripts, the word whale is not used here or in [Matt 12:40] where Yahshua Messiah refers to this fish. In this section of Matthew we see Yahshua extend credibility to the story of Jonah, and He establishes Jonah as a 'type' of Himself:Swallow up = Once again in the Hebrew manuscripts we see the ‘eth'Swallow up eth = baw-lah' ethJonah was in the belly = Not therefore kept alive in the fishes mouth as some imagine. When thus swallowed up, Jonah must have died, and thus became a 'type' of Yahshua Messiah. three days and three nights = Just as with Yahshua Messiah in the tomb, thus fulfilling the 'type.'Chapter 21    belly = Innards, digestive tract.2    cried = Cried out in distress. heard = Answered. Hebrew word 'anah,' not the same Hebrew word translated to 'heardest' in the next clause. out of the belly = Hebrew word #990 beten: Used of the depth of Sheol (figurative) hell = Hebrew word # 7585: Sheol (sheh-ole'); Hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates.  heardest = Gavest heed to. Hebrew word 'shama,' not the same Hebrew word translated to 'heard' in the preceding clause.Have any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com 

In this episode of Arise+Abide, Sally and Curtis delve into Jonah Chapter 3, exploring the remarkable story of Nineveh's repentance. Following Jonah's deliverance from the belly of the great fish, God gives him a second chance to deliver His message to the people of Nineveh. The hosts reflect on Jonah's obedience, the simplicity and power of his prophecy, and the profound response of the Ninevites, from the king to the common people. They discuss themes of humility, repentance, and God's eagerness to show mercy to those who turn from their wicked ways. This episode challenges listeners to examine their own lives: Are we stepping down from the thrones we've placed ourselves on and putting God first? Tune in for an inspiring conversation about obedience, transformation, and the boundless compassion of God.   Follow-Up Questions: How might the speakers' insights on obedience and humility apply to the listeners' own lives and faith journeys? [07:08] What other examples from the Bible or personal experiences could the speakers draw upon to further illustrate the themes of God's compassion and mercy? [10:51] How can the listeners actively seek to make God's character known to those around them, as the speakers emphasize is the purpose of God's interactions with His people?

The overall purpose of the book of Jonah is to reveal that Yahweh's grace, compassion, and mercy extends to evil and hostile nations just as it does to His peopleIn this Part 3 of Chapter 1, I cover verses 9 to 14 9  he said = Jonah is answering them, but he doesn't tell them everything. We will find out the real reason in Hebrew = Referring to the language spoken. A title used of foreigners. (The word Hebrew means: 'one who crossed over the river' and is outwardly used for 'believers') fear = Revere hath made the sea and the dry land = Speaking about how Elohim created everything in the beginning. In the Hebrew Manuscripts we read the Hebrew word ‘eth' that ‘alpha/tav' showing us that it was Yahweh's divine hand into this!10  Why hast thou. . . = The men are asking Jonah what he had done to bring this upon himself and them. They knew the fact of his flight, but not the reason. We will find out the real reason in11    wrought= Grew more and more tempestuous. They are asking Jonah how they can have Yahweh cease this storm which is growing worse and worse12   I know that for my sake . . . = Jonah is telling them to kill him by throwing him into the churning sea because it is Jonah's life that the Lord was seeking. As we read on, we will see that Yahweh has plans for Jonah other than drowning him. The lesson here is that if Yahweh wants you to accomplish a thing, you will accomplish it, by His intervention if necessary, whether you want to or not13   rowed hard = The sails now broken off; they are unsuccessfully trying to row with oars to the safety of the shoreline14  they cried unto the LORD = The once heathen sailors are now praying to Yahweh, the true Elohim/Creator. They have forsaken their false gods.let us not perish for this man's life = Don't kill us because of the sin that Jonah committed lay not upon us innocent blood = Don't let us be guilty of the murder of Jonah, don't make us do it. They don't want to be judged as murderers O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee = They are telling Yahweh that this is His will, and they only do it because He gives them no choice. They are saying that it is Yahweh's will that Jonah be thrown into the violent sea which no man can survive inHave any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com 

Tolu Ogunrinde- February 2nd, 2025 - The Name JESUS! JESUS CHRIST + Nothing = Everything Heb 12 v 1-2 The use of the name Jesus Christ as a common profanity. The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words. - Prov 10 v 32 The Birth of Jesus - Matt 1 v 18-21 - NLT The meaning of his name Jesus is the human name given to Mary by the angel Gabriel. Christ is His title, that signifies or reminds us he was sent from God to be a King and Deliverer. The Hebrew name of Jesus is “Yeshua” which mean “God saves”. “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one.” This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiach, or “Messiah.” – John 1 v 40 The name of Jesus is important because of its meaning and because of whom it represents. The birth of Jesus Christ in this world was to fulfill a divine purpose and his name bears witness to that mission. ……………for he will save his people from their sins.” His purpose was to save people from the shackles of empty life we inherited from our ancestors (1 Peter 1 v 18) Rom 3 v 23 – For all has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. 1 John 1 v 10 - 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. Rom 5 v 19 – Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. The Will of God - Jesus Christ - He came to fulfill the will of God. John 6 v 39-40 -  38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. 39 And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” 2 Peter 3 v 9 - The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.  Ezekiel 18 v 23 -“Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign Lord. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.  Book of Jonah - Chapter 3 & 4 Jonah 3v 1-10 Jonah 4 v 1-10 The Love of God - Jesus Christ – a promise kept; the expression of God's everlasting love to humanity. - 1 John 4 v 9-10 - Romans 8 v 32 So, what makes the name of Jesus special to us as believers? It is the only name ABOVE every other name. No other name come close. Philippians 2 v 5-11 The only PATHWAY to GOD - John 16 v 16 – 25: 1 John 14-15:, John 14 v 1-6 The only name that SAVES from penalty of sin -Acts 4 v 5-12. 1 Thes 5 v 9 There is MERCY in this name. -Heb 2 v 16-18: The only name that gives eternal HOPE - 1 Cor. 15 v 12-20: 1 Peter 1 v 3-4: Heb 10 v 1-10 :

The overall purpose of the book of Jonah is to reveal that Yahweh's grace, compassion, and mercy extends to evil and hostile nations just as it does to His peopleIn this Part 2 of Chapter 1, I cover verses 3 to 8 In the prior verse Yahweh told Jonah to "rise up and go" to Nineveh to warn them to change, but Jonah "Rose up and fled" away from Nineveh, thus disobeying YahwehJonah wanted to go by sea to Tarshish. Tarshish was the most distant port to which people from Israel travelled for the purposes of trade. It seems to have been on the west coast of Spain. The boats had to travel the entire length of the Mediterranean Sea to get there. The distance was more than 2000 miles. Jonah went from Joppa, which was the principal port for travelers from Israel. It was about 60 miles from Gath Hepher, where Jonah lived.Yahweh had not told Jonah to go west, to Tarshish. Rather, Yahweh had sent him in the opposite direction, east, to Nineveh. The route to Nineveh was by land. It was a long journey, about 600 miles. Jonah would probably walk the entire distance; it would take about 2 months4  great wind = The 'Ruwach' in the Hebrew language, Wind: ruwach: A wind, breath, a mind, a spirit; the Spirit of Yahwehwas like to be broken = Thought to be breaking apart (presumed to be sinking)5   cried every man unto his god = (Note lower case 'g' in the word god). These sailors were heathen. They believed in many different gods gone down into the sides of the ship = Below deck6    shipmaster = Captain of the ship What meanest thou, O sleeper = Why are you sleeping at a time like this? Elohim = In the Hebrew language this word is "'eth Elohim" and it is translated to: "THE Elohim." Once again, we see the ship's Captain pay homage to Jonah's Elohim as THE One True Elohim7   cast lots = A form of a game of chance with small stones likened to drawing straws or throwing dice to determine the answer to a thing. This was also done by the eleven remaining Apostles when they were trying to decide between two men as to which would be the twelfth Apostle to replace Judas Iscariot [Acts 1:23-26] Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

In this episode of Arise+Abide, hosts Sally and Curtis dive into Jonah Chapter 1, exploring the prophet's dramatic response to God's call. Reflecting on Jonah's attempt to flee from his mission to Nineveh, they examine themes of God's mercy, human disobedience, and divine purpose. Through the lens of Jonah's journey, the hosts discuss relatable struggles with surrendering to God's will, the transformative power of repentance, and the unexpected ways God uses challenging situations to reveal His character. They also explore the parallels between Jonah's story and God's larger redemptive plan, highlighting how even in disobedience, God's grace shines through to bring others to faith. This thought-provoking episode invites listeners to consider their own callings, the importance of obedience, and the assurance that God's plans prevail—even in the storms of life.

The Book of Jonah (Dove)JONAH was the most ancient of all the prophets whose writings have come down to us. He is supposed to have prophesied in the latter end of Jehu's or the beginning of Jehoahaz's reignThe author of the book is Jonah. His name (הָונֹי Yonah) means “dove.” Yahshua Messiah mentions Jonah, and the account of this book, as true history (Mat 12:39-41).The book of Jonah was written to Israel to show that Yahweh's grace and mercy extends to Gentiles, even those whom Israel regards as their evil enemies.Jonah had strong national pride and hated the Assyrians, and his attitude reflected that of Israel. Though Yahweh hated the evil of the Assyrians, He loved them and desired their salvation. For this reason, Yahweh called Jonah to preach to them (Jon 1:1-2), but His prophet declined and ran away (Jon 1:3). Yahweh began a series of judgments upon His disobedient prophet which included a storm (Jon 1:4), the pressure of Gentile sailors (Jon 1:5-16), and a great fish that swallowed him (Jon 1:17). From the belly of the great fish Jonah was humbled and cried out to the Lord, who saved him (Jon 2:1-10). The humbled prophet then obeyed the Lord and preached to the Ninevites (Jon 3:1-4), and the people of the city believed in Yahweh and the Lord changed His mind about the judgment He was going to bring on them (Jon 3:5-10). Yahweh's mercy and grace greatly upset Jonah to the point where he wanted to die (Jon 4:1-3), but the grace Yahweh showed to Nineveh was shown to Jonah, which grace reflects the Lord's sovereignty (Jon 4:4-11). The overall purpose of the book of Jonah is to reveal that Yahweh's grace, compassion, and mercy extends to evil and hostile nations just as it does to His people.In this Part 1 of Chapter 1, I go into the evilness of Nineveh, the city which Yahweh instructed Jonah to go to and preach the righteousness of Yahweh.Nineveh was founded by Nimrod [Gen 10:8-11] and is at the time of this writing the Capitol of Assyria. Nineveh is of Babylonian origin and the people there were heathen, worshiping other gods including a fish god named Dagon. The fish was worshiped among the Philistines and also in Assyria as the emblem of fruitfulness, richfulness etc.; Dagon, half man half fish; Therefore, the worship is forbidden [Duet 4:18]. I go to the writing of the Prophet Nahum, who in Chapter 3 shows us the evilness that lies within this city of Nineveh.We need to know three condemnations that Yahweh brings against Nineveh and its result so that we desire to see Yahweh's deliverance and also destruction of the wicked.Be warned that Yahweh condemn Nineveh's violation of the Ten Commandments (v.1)Be warned that Yahweh condemn Nineveh's militarism (v.2-3)Be warned that Yahweh condemn Nineveh's human trafficking (v.4)We need to know Yahweh's punishment of Nineveh and its outcome (v.5-7)We read that Nineveh was guilty of breaking the 6th, 8th, and 9th commandments set forth by Yahweh there in Exodus Chapter 20 Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

Jonah 4

Have you actually read the Book of Jonah or did you bypasss it because you learned about Jonah and the whale in Sunday school? There is so much more to Jonah's story.

Jonah Chapter 2

The book of Jonah explores the deep level of God's sovereignty, mercy, and our own need of grace. Functioning as a microcosm of the Bible's overarching storyline, how does this short book challenge us to examine our own hearts as we explore the character and work of God in His world?

Sometimes in life we need to navigate a turnaround – a change in direction. As we look at Jonah Chapter 3 we will see that both Jonah and the people of Ninevah do this, but they do it in very different ways. Then will look in the mirror at our own lives. By doing a 180, by navigating a turnaround, we will see how God can radically transform our lives. But we need to be all-in; to believe that God can and will give us a second chance; an opportunity for us to change our direction. As we respond, God will bless us and open new doors for us.

Pastor Steve reads through Jonah Chapter 2, teaching about how God corrects those He loves and the lessons within the storm. 

Have you ever asked, “How low can you (or I) go?” It is just a figure of speech, but it definitely has a scary meaning behind it. In our reading from Jonah Chapter 2, we will see how low a prophet of God is allowed to go. Some might say, “You can't get any lower than Jonah.” God wanted Jonah to go to Ninevah, but he ended up below sea level. The good news is, that after three days in the belly of a great fish, Jonah finally reconsidered going to Ninevah.

Jonah Chapter 1 is a picture of what may happen to someone who decides to get into relationships with those that are in direct rebellion to God.

God's love for mankind is relentless. The story of Jonah is a subversive story where nothing is as you would expect. God pursues those who are far from him and has compassion on them. God's prophet however, hates that God loves his enemies and even tries to thwart God's rescue plan. This story is short and compact, is chalk full of twists and turns and makes the case that for God, people always have potential. Even when people are perceived to be our enemies, God's love is relentless and he is inviting us into this great rescue mission. This book forces us to look in the mirror, consider our hearts and motives, and invites us into God's great rescue plan.
